Everyone knows that the most difficult and most important step in home ownership is having enough deposit to obtain finance. The ability to save money seems to elude many people, yet they know that once they have overcome this obstacle, the path to home ownership, future security and ongoing cash creation is open to them.This simple first step will change the course of many people’s lives and once you have obtained your first home you may never need to save again to enjoy your home ownership journey.
Many people are unable to save because of the temptations surrounding them daily. That unbelievably cheap flight to Bali, the never to be repeated special on the latest home theatre, the new car, motorbike or surf board you ‘must have’, or the latest phone that didn’t seem too expensive at the time. There are temptations around every corner plus of course more practical needs such as paying the bills, putting food on the table, birthdays and Christmas. Everyone can use these excuses to avoid saving and live in a world of denial believing “it’s just not possible.” At TAG we understand how easy it is to fall into the traps and that’s why we have created TAG Savings Plan.
The TAG Savings Plan Program is a tailor-made savings plan prepared to specifically address your lifestyle so you won’t feel as if you are being forced to save against your will. It’s easy, it’s manageable and best of all it’s guaranteed.
We’ll explain to you some basics about managing your money.
Some topics we will cover will include understanding the difference between good debt and bad debt, gross income and net income.
You’ll teach us about your lifestyle, your expenses, what you earn, your goals and your real needs. We’ll learn a lot about each other, we’ll be honest with you and expect you to be honest in return.
Together we’ll set realistic and achievable savings timelines and budgets and prepare you for a lifestyle with a mortgage (and your own lifelong asset – Your Own Home).
We’ll set up a direct debit into an interest bearing savings account, arrange for salary credits with your employer and monitor the account on your behalf.
We’ll determine how much you can afford to spend on a new home based on your current income.
With the savings plan in place we will set key milestones to reward your achievements along the journey to your new home.
Your commitment to your future is your... NEW home!
